Hello insiders! Today we released build 77.0.235.5 to the Microsoft Edge Dev Channel. This will be the last version with the major number 77, which means that this release puts us in sync with what’s in Chrome’s 77 release. As such, there were quite a few fixes and features this week that we believe are significant enough to mention:
Today's update to the .5 release contains a single fix for the Netflix error D1711-1331.
New features and behavior:
Fixes for improved reliability:
Fixes for improved behavior:
As always, thanks for being an insider, and keep sending us all of your valuable feedback and suggestions!

The note about this release on .microsoftedgeinsider.com whats-new says it includes the ability to sync form fill data and passwords, but in Settings>Profiles>Sync the options to Sync Addresses and Passwords are still not available.

@josh_bodner give us the ability to sync the password or at least to "Export" to "Old Edge" so new password saved in the chromium edge is not lost.
And another feature that would be appreciated is "Disabling the DashPlayback in youtube".

Thanks @josh_bodner.
Is it possible to remove the smiley feedback button from the toolbar? Maybe there could be a flag or toggle somewhere to disable it?

For all those saying they cannot see form fill and password sync, it is A/B testing.
I have two machines. One got it, one did not ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Good stuff! Video issues are fixed, and I very much appreciate the ability to hide a particular language I never want translated.

You can remove it either by the Edge Chromium group policies
Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Microsoft Edge > Allow User Feedback
> Disabled
Here is a good description how to deploy the new group policies (if you haven't already done):
https://winaero.com/blog/group-policy-templates-for-microsoft-edge-chromium/
Or simply remove the button in the registry
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge
there create a REG_DWORD (32-bit) called UserFeedbackAllowed with value 0
